I just used an older set of these and they required a power supply at both ends in order to work.

I suppose the newer versions only require power at one end instead.

Kind of wondering when that came about, and do the ones with a single power supply work as well?

Ordered a Orei set on Amazon, that only came with a single power supply, and it didn't work at all, even with a premade cable they wouldn't link (sent it back).

Any other brands you've used that worked well and didn't break the bank?

J-Tech on Amazon.

There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

I ordered an Orei set from Walmart. It came with a power supply that has the insert for either US or overseas plugs. Problem was they didn't include the inserts. Luckily I had a whole other power supply that worked from a different extender that had died. The Orei works perfectly for me.

Funny, the Orei didn't work at all

I dug through the boxes in the shop and found an extra power supply, so I had one on each end of the Binary units, and that worked.

Job is done except for the old Abus keypads are dying, and I have no more in the old stock.
